Agents seize P34M of crystal meth
Narcotics agents seized PHP34 million worth of shabu in a buy-bust operation in Malabang, Lanao del Sur, on Monday, April 8.
This marks the biggest shabu haul in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) to date.
The operation led to the arrest of Zacaria Jaji Nandang, a resident of Cotabato City, who was found with five kilograms of shabu and a Toyota Avanza.
Authorities suspect Nandang may be part of a larger drug group in Cotabato City and neighboring provinces.
The PDEA-BARMM had been surveilling Nandang for weeks based on intelligence about his involvement in the illicit drug trade.
Nandang is currently detained at the PDEA detention facility and faces charges for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
